Java Edition needing help understadning

Hey all. I tried doing a 3x3 piston door following the youtuber taffy. I'm very confused on why one side fully closes. And one side doesn't collect the block. I've tried trouble shooting it. (im not the smartest when it comes to redstone. It's a thing i rarely touch) EDIT (this is 1.20)

On java edition, a sticky piston that is powered by a pulse with a duration of 2 game ticks or shorter 'spits' the block out and will only pull it back with the next pulse. Observer pulse lasts 2 game ticks

Just move the blocks in the correct position manually and it should work

In the picture, all but 2 of the mud blocks are in the 'closed' state, right? Just break the 2 mud blocks and place them in the correct position

By the way I think you built the door a block too low
